I've been trying for a while, and from what I read it usually isnt cheap.

I've just been looking on ebay hoping I can find one...

There are many threads on this topic, you should search and reply to an older thread that has the most relevant information instead of opening yet another thread on the same topic:

The part # for the center storage box is 58810-50020-X#, where X is a letter and # is a number, indicating the color of the wood trim. I know that B0 is the light gray bird's eye maple.

ouch. for the cost of over $200 i'd rather buy some felt material, spray glue and a dremel tool. take out the stock ashtray insert, dremel out the fins on the inside and glue the felt in there. the cig lighter can be converted to USB port for $10
btw, for those who do buy the factory box - don't worry about the color code (as not all colors are available or hard to find and you have to know your code), the ashtray box is removable from the assembly, you can just swap out the box and keep your original lid. I have taken it apart to swap out the cig lighter for a usb/aux port, there are about 4 screws to remove, see pic below (not mine, just from ebay)

i think this is the tray that is felt lined, there is no pic of the whole thing open but the pic of the cig lighter port suggests that it is, so does the part# https://www.ebay.com/itm/01-06-LEXUS...gAAOSwbNZc7ZRF
you should probably contact the seller for additional pics and to verify condition

yeah I think vredniykot is right, that does look like the felt lined ashtray alternative.

I may grab it if wgsowell doesnt...

I don't think it is. AFAIK the conversion has no lighter at all. There should be a regular 12v connector underneath that flap. Why nobody has ever photographed it is beyond me.
